I have a dermoid cyst in my right ovary measuring 43x34x44 mm from an MRI in February and it might have grown since then. I feel swelling in my right thigh and abdomen. Several gynecologists recommended laparoscopy because they say it contains hair and teeth and could twist. I'm hesitant about surgery can homeopathy actually dissolve this kind of cyst? I'm single and a bit nervous about going under the knife.

Dermoid cysts with hair or teeth elements do not dissolve naturally.Laparoscopy is usually recommended to prevent complications like torsion.

I'm a bit worried since my wife is just 7 weeks pregnant and her doctor has suggested she take ecosprin 150 every night before bed. Is it really okay to start this medication so early in the pregnancy? It's our second baby, and everything has been smooth so far, no complications or miscarriages or anything.

is there any health issues, refer to gynecologist.

Which tablet is used to get periods immediately?

Progesterones can be taken in few doses to induce periods but keep in mind that it is hormone pill with few side effects. So, it is better to not self medicate and consult with a doctor for prescription.
